Progressing....

He is coming along. I made some metal clay stars and sewed them on. I think it still needs a little more on the border....not sure yet. Does it seem wasteful or extravagant to use PMC on this? I like that I can make specific shapes for it utilizing the metal clay. I probably should learn how to use bronze clay or copper clay. But silver is so damn easy and clean... I like that about PMC. I suppose if I run out, I'll figure it out but for now I have 15 packets of clay to play with. So I might as well, right?

I love how this is progressing. Not at all wasteful to use your PMC. You have exactly what you want and didn't have waste a lot of time shopping around. Then the best part is that the little stars are handmade and original too.

Thanks Lidia. I think it will work well too. I have so many cutters and varieties of shapes. I may also use some of my enamel one-offs. Such a meditative process. I see why you love the tiny beads so much.

Artist Statement

For most of my life I have been a painter. I have worked in pen and ink, watercolors, gouache, oils and acrylics. I have always painted the world around me in all its true splendor. For many years I lived in the tropics and painted the lush plant life that surrounded me. When I left the tropics and moved out into the country I painted landscapes of the local farms and my wonderful vegetable garden. Now that I am living in the Sonoran desert, I am influenced by the very unique and wonderful looking cactus and flowers I see on my walks.

Thank you for looking at my work and please get in touch if you would like to purchase something.
